According to the 2006 baseline assessment for the development of the Integrated Solid Waste Management System, the industrial sector
accounts for one third of Maseru’s municipal solid waste. Maseru has a fairly large knitted textile industry which also produces hazardous
wastes (University of Cape Town and UNEP, 2006).

Some barriers still remain for the effective implementation of
the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan. These include
having the necessary institutional capacity to contract,
manage and monitor solid waste management service delivery
arrangements, basic technical and management capacity of
service providers, policy enforcement, and public awareness
and action to reduce, reuse and recycle waste.
